Smoky and Salty

Try this as a tasty refreshing summer treat.

To take that summer staple of sweet juicy watermelon and kick it up a notch, simply add some salt and smoky paprika. It could hardly get any easier. The addition of salt to any melon actually makes the melon taste sweeter and the smoky paprika adds a complexity of flavor that you might not expect. Simply mix together:

1 teaspoon kosher salt or pink himalayan sea salt
1/4 teaspoon smoky paprika

Cut watermelon into bite sized cubes and sprinkle with salt/paprika mixture and serve with mini screwers or toothpicks as a delicious and refreshing appetizer at your next family get together.

Summer is calling. Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay connected as best you can.
